The field desk
Ask a specific question.
The desk reads every message and replies directly. It is not a booking service and does not sell tours. It is a place to get a second opinion on the shape of a Yunnan trip.

What to send
Enough detail to be useful.
A good message includes dates, arrival city, how many people are traveling, and the places you are weighing. If you have a rough route, paste it in. If you have constraints — altitude, mobility, budget, a child's age — say so. Specific questions get specific answers.
- You have dates and a rough route, and want to know whether it is realistic.
- You cannot decide between the northwest and the tropical south for a one-week trip.
- You are traveling with children or older parents and need a gentler shape.
- You want to know what a place is like in a specific month, beyond the forecast.
- You are planning around food, tea, coffee, or markets and want the right season.
- You need a second opinion on altitude, road time, or a transfer that looks awkward.
Good fit
Route shaping, season checks, altitude questions, and honest place comparisons.
Not a fit
Booking hotels, buying tickets, visa applications, or emergency assistance.
Language
